HEALTHCARE EXPERTS

“I have had the pleasure of using the Clarity Appraisal Toolkit since its early days, initially as a GP appraiser and appraisee, and more recently also as an appraisal administrator for my small voluntary sector Designated Body. I have appreciated seeing the system develop over the years to improve functionality and integration, and to keep in step with the rapidly changing landscape of appraisal and revalidation. It has been particularly pleasing to experience the responsiveness and support of the Clarity team. We have challenged the flexibility of the system as a voluntary sector Designated Body with an external Responsible Officer, and with most of our doctors having portfolio careers: the Clarity Team have always responded promptly and helpfully to troubleshoot and answer queries. They have also responded effectively to constructive comment when I have given feedback about a problem or made a suggestion to improve the functionality of the system.  Thank you for our continued partnership.”

“I revalidated in Nov 2016 and have just had my appraisal this month. I found the Clarity Appraisal Toolkit easy to use and my appraisal this year has been of a superior quality due to the toolkit and the prompts within it. It is an excellent tool for linking practical work to NMC requirements of the Code of Conduct. It is also very good for reflective learning.

I just wanted to compliment you on an excellent system. Thank you.”

“I am an F2 hoping to become a GP and just wanted to thank you for the brilliant resource that is ‘CKS nice website’. I am currently on GP placement and cannot emphasise how useful it is to my every day practice. It is so easy to use and the advice is comprehensive and appropriate. I really cannot recommend it highly enough.”

“The Prodigy Patient app is a reliable source of health information for patients, carers and the lay public. Evidence-based, authoritative and easy to navigate, it should be on everyone’s smartphone for quick advice on more than 350 symptoms, illnesses and health conditions. Highly recommended!”

“After looking into all of the appraisal tools offered to us to implement this process, we decided that Clarity met all of our needs in one simple, robust and comprehensive solution available for nurses in practice to meet future revalidation requirements. We believe Clarity will fully support us through the implementation of the toolkit and we look forward to working with them. ”

“I have been through the appraisal system myself, and feel that it is really helpful, and far more comprehensive than any paper system. It allows practitioners to record their practice and development in real time. It allows supervisors and managers to know what their staff are doing, and allows managers to plan for their staffs development. It addresses the Chief Nursing Officer’s 6 Cs and allows practitioners to reflect on incidents and therefore plan how to prevent such incidents happening again.”

“It has been particularly useful that my Trust embarked on an early implementer e-portfolio pilot with Clarity; building on the success of this tool that medical colleagues have had via their revalidation processes. I have found it really easy to use the Clarity e-portfolio, it is intuitive and structured to meet the needs of my annual appraisal and personal development plan.” read more

“In all the years that I’ve been a chief executive which is now probably around 25 years when I have been at the top of the NHS, this is the one area where clinicians who WEREN’T involved, because their area wasn’t covered, came along to us at the time and said – we’d like to be involved, we want to do the right thing. And it was because the drive to get the best care for patients was overcoming people’s ability to, say, benchmark themselves against colleagues.” Mike Farrar, Independent Management Consultant

“It is about the delivery of evidence based care. The data that Clarity produces is really interesting, particularly regarding the reduction of mortality for orthopaedic surgery. Using this service we go through a shared decision making process and complete patient reported outcome measures, looking at the length of stay and recovery, which I feel is another really positive element of the programme.” read more

“I first came across Clarity’s Appraisal Toolkit when we were looking into strengthening our appraisal process in preparation for Revalidation and to support our Responsible Officer. We lacked the ability to carry out a multiple-source feedback collection with colleagues and patients and were looking for an appropriate solution. Clarity’s Appraisal Toolkit provides this functionality and also enables the user to arrange appraisals quickly and easily, fully automating the appraisal process.” read more
